Self Preservation

I saw this link to yet another healthy green smoothie and it made me cringe. And then moan. Aaargh! It's even worse looking than the one below. Do you see that green fish tank debris floating on top? Whose idea was THAT? Is there such a thing as gag garnish?

2015 Resolution Abandoned Early
So OK... I give up. I've discovered something about myself and it is this: I would rather be flogged than drink a green smoothie in the morning. Green smoothies are an abomination of nature. It's a cruel joke that they are healthy.

I got feedback from the first green smoothie post below. Trying to convert me. Stay away perky morning people – you've been warned. You don't know who you're dealing with.

I am not a morning person. Never have been. Never will be.
Never.

My start to the day is inherently challenging. A green smoothie is only going to make it worse. A ) I'm always slightly nauseous in the morning. Nothing appeals but coffee. If I felt the same way all day I would weigh less than 100 pounds. That would certainly be nice, but then I'd have to be nauseous all day and that's not good. B ) I wake up cranky, I just do. People under the same roof understand this and work around it. Specifically... someone makes sure I get handed a cup of coffee first thing. If I were required to make and consume a green smoothie in the morning it would quickly become a red zone situation with furniture getting destroyed.

The Transformation
Daylight solves all this. As soon as daylight settles in I become a reasonable and pleasant person. Every 24 hours a miracle happens.

I'll be so glad when January is over and I can quit trying to be healthy and go back to my normal life.
